upon its inner face with mirrors 14 and the i doors are providednpontheir exterior faces 15 so that when the cabinet is closed, as in Fig.1, it will present a neat appearance. These panels and doors are adaptedto be arranged, as shown in Fig. 5, to conceal a tub 16 which is adaptedto extend out to the position shown in Fig. 5 and be folded into thecabinet in the position shown in Figs. 2 and 3. The tub is connected tothe back 17 of the cabinet by means of extension rods 18 and issupported when in extended position upon folding legs 19 which liealongside of the tub when in folded position. The tub is supplied withwater by means of tanks 20 which are arranged along the sides of thecabinet and have faucets 21 connected to their lower portions and whichare supplied with flexible tubes 22 adapted to conduct the water to thetubes. A similar tank 23 is mounted in the compartment 24 between thepartition 6 and the top 4 and is connected to a shower head 25 through apipe 26 having a valve 27 therein, which is controlled by a lever 28 anddepending chain 29. These tanks have passing therethrough coils of pipe30, 31 and 32, the latter being located in the tank 23 and beingconnected to the coils 30 and 31 by pipes 33. The coils 30 and 31 arepassed through the bottom of the tanks 20 where they carry funnels '34located immediately over blue flame burners 35 which get their supply of/through pipes 36 connected to the burners and to supply tanks 37arranged in the compartment 24 behind the tank 23. Suitable supplynipples 38 are connected to the tank and extend through the top 4 sothat the tanks may be supplied with oil and suitable valves 38 and 39are arranged in the pipes to regulate the supply of fuel to the burners.heat passes up through the coils 30 and 31 and finds exit through a pipe40 which is connected to the coil 32 intermediate its ends and extendsthrough the top of the tank 23 and the top 4.

The tanks 20 are provided with suitable safety valves 41, and in orderthat the user of the cabinet may utilize the device for obtaining thevapor bath, a steam valve 42 .is

The

secured to each tank adjacent its top. A-

These curtains arepreferably of similar construction to the ordinary window shades and aremounted upon spring rollers 46 adjacent the sides of the casing. Intaking the shower bath, the user stands within a foot tub 45v which islet into the bottom Sand is pro vided with an outlet 48 which may be connected with a sewer or may be discharged in any other suitable manner.The tub is also provided with a discharge opening 49 which has connectedto it a flexible pipe 50 to con duct the water to any suitable point ofdis charge.
